Red Dead Redemption added to Xbox One backwards compatibility list, kind of

Let us know if you’re able to download the game! But if you don’t own an online copy of the game, you can go to the store on Xbox.com and buy it for only $30. I tried to put in my Xbox 360 disc of Red Dead Redemption and it wouldnt install.

Originally spotted on Neo Gaf, these games are only available right now if you “follow” someone that is following the game.

For now, patience appears to be the best course of action as Xbox Support have confirmed that following the unsanctioned process to obtain the game is a breach of the Terms of Service.

To date, Red Dead Redemption has sold over 14 million copies.

Yesterday, it was discovered that not only is Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption coming to Xbox One via the system’s backward compatibility feature, but that it was actually already playable.

Some are also wondering how Red Dead Redemption runs on Xbox One. In 2014, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick talked about “Red Dead Redemption” being a franchise that Rockstar will nurture in the years to come.

This conversation confirms that Microsoft might release the game on Xbox One backwards compatibility soon.

Our advice? Don’t get your hopes up too much, as there’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding this much-anticipated title finally getting backwards compatibility on the Xbox One. With the New Xbox One Experience, players can follow specific games for direct updates.

Red Dead Redemption was accidentally available to some Xbox One some time ago, after it was known that the game can be installed using an exploit.

Red Dead Redemption isn’t the only game to have been preemptively released as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 are also available to download using the same method mentioned above.
